[Scmusenet] Museum Launches YouTube Video Site

[Cassidy Shaiman, Jai]

South Carolina's military history museum now has a home on YouTube, the
largest video site on the internet. 

 

The SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum's YouTube site
features behind the scenes stories at the museum. Viewers are able to
see how artifacts are prepared for display and also gain a sneak peak at
items not usually available to the public for viewing. 

 

This week the museum posted two videos on its site. The first video
features Sarah Wooton, Chief Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, as
she gives viewers an inside look at the museum's new World War I
exhibit.  The second segment features Curator of Education Joe Long as
he discusses bolo knives, a popular weapon used during the war by
American soldiers in the Philippines.  New videos will be added
regularly. 

 

"We are excited about giving the community a new way to meet our staff
and see the many exciting artifacts and programs we have here at the
museum," said Director Allen Roberson. "We are always looking for
innovative ways to tell our story and educate the public about the rich
martial history of our state."
